How to grow Camellia 'Blondy' in NZ

Camellia 'Blondy' thrives in part shade or filtered light in most New Zealand regions. Plant in fertile, slightly acidic, well drained soil enriched with compost. Choose a sheltered position protected from harsh afternoon sun and strong winds to protect buds and blooms. Water regularly during establishment and maintain consistent moisture during dry periods and while flowering.

Camellia 'Blondy' care tips

Camellia 'Blondy' benefits from feeding in spring and again in summer with a fertiliser formulated for camellias and acid loving plants. Apply mulch to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool, ensuring mulch is kept clear of the trunk. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain a dense attractive shape. Remove spent blooms to keep the shrub tidy and encourage strong healthy growth.

Camellia 'Blondy' size, spacing, and growth rate

Camellia 'Blondy' typically grows to around 2 to 3 metres tall and about 1.5 to 2 metres wide, forming a dense upright shrub. Space plants approximately 1.5 to 2 metres apart to allow for mature spread and good airflow. Growth is moderate in favourable conditions. Over time it develops into a well structured shrub covered in masses of soft creamy blooms.
